Description: 🏆 Gold Prize — Japanese Tea Selection Paris 2025 Yame no Mukashi (八女の昔) was awarded the Gold Prize at Japanese Tea Selection Paris 2025 — recognition by international tea professionals of its outstanding quality, refined balance, and profound umami. Crafted from 100% Yame-grown tencha of the Okumidori cultivar, this reserve grade matcha delivers a deep green color, a nutty fragrant aroma, and a rich, layered umami that resolves into lingering natural sweetness. Bitterness and astringency are remarkably low, the texture smooth and creamy. True Koicha-grade depth, equally rewarding as Usucha. Yame, in Fukuoka Prefecture, is one of Japan's most respected tea regions — mist-covered mountains and fertile soil produce teas prized for exceptional sweetness and high theanine content. Origin: Yame, Fukuoka | Grade: Reserve Ceremonial | Cultivar: Okumidori | Harvest: 1st Harvest | Supply: ~100 kg/month Recommended for Koicha and Usucha. Available as a 30g sample and in 1kg wholesale bags.
